Ayat 9 - 17
When Loyalties Are Tested; 
When Sincerity Leads to Victory

🎯Ayat 9
Surah Al Fath was revealed in its entirety after the event of Hudaibiyyah. Ayat 9 lists  4 To Do Things from Allah SWT directed to the Companions RA. These instructions demanded that they turned their focus away from their disappointment in not being able to perform Umrah .
They were told to focus on 
1. لتؤمنوا بالل  Strengthening their Iman 
2. ,تعزرو;   Supporting and aiding Rasulullah SAW in his mission regardless of the circumstances of Hudaibiyah. 
3. توقر  The Companions RA were reminded of the honour that Rasulullah SAW deserved. 
4. تسبحو  To glorify Allah SWT . 

The Companions RA were compliant to the added responsibilities ahead of them. Hudaibiyyah gave a them a period of peace and they were told to make full use of this calm t spread the mission.; to spread the Tasbih of Allah SWT. 
Though the ceasefire agreement has come to pass in Gaza, we still have to continue spreading Justice and the Truth to overcome the false narratives that fuel the Zionist regime. Thus, we will be glorifying Allah SWT thorough our efforts, in sha Allah.

🎯Ayat 10
Bai' atul Ridhwan is a declaration  of loyalty  by the Companions RA to affirm their continued commitment to the mission of Rasulullah SAW, thus complying with the Directives in Ayat 9. This also reminds us that in the pursuit of our mission goals we need to frequently renew our oaths; to revisit the objectives of the mission simultaneously rejuvenating zeal of the members of the group. 

يد الله ~' hand of Allah SWT ' has been explained by Iman Ar Razi as the ni'mah or blessings of Hidayah and Sakinah from Allah SWT; divine guidance and divine gift of tranquility after going through the challenges of Hudaibiyyah. It can also refer to Allah's Help to them. Allah SWT rewarded them for their declaration of loyalty to Rasulullah SAW.  The lessons in this Ayat give us a deeper understanding of the motivations that spur the Resistance fighters in Gaza. 

The ayat ends with a threat to those who betray the oaths.

🎯Ayat 11
Betrayal is  illustrated in Ayat 11.  Surah Al Fath was revealed  as the Muslims were making their way back to Madinah. Through this Surah. The Muslims were given  Divine projections of future events. As they approached Madinah,  Allah SWT revealed the real situation of those who stayed behind in Madinah and were brewing trouble in Madinah. They were made up of 2 groups : 
The ones with weak Iman; the Mukhalafun and the hypocrites, the Munafiqun. Allah SWT exposed their lies and excuses for not joining the  Muslims. Allah SWT revealed their ill intent towards the Muslims. They were hoping for the Muslims to be killed. Allah SWT displayed their pretense and deceit. It is a lesson for us that we need to ask for protection from such deceitful and hypocritical character in the mission to liberate Palestine. 

🎯Ayat 12
Allah SWT shows His displeasure towards the Mukhalafun and the Munafiqun. Allah calls them   قوما بورا ' dead in spirit ; soulless' because they have no high aspirations. This is a severe warning to the cynics and the sofa critics who not only refuse to join any efforts but belittle any efforts in the liberation of Palestine from the safety and the comfort of their homes. This should create a fear in ourselves that we may be unknowingly acting like the Mukhalafun and the Munafiqun.

🎯Ayat 13 
Allah SWT threatens the disbelievers with the punishment of the Fire. He SWT chides the Mukhalafun for their laziness and it is this trait that may turn them into Munafiqun. The Munafiqun are, in reality, Kaafiruun, disbelievers. There is no Faith in their diseased hearts although they claim with their tongues they are Muslims. They do not ask Allah SWT directly and sincerely for forgiveness instead they ask for Rasulullah SAW to seek Allah's SW forgiveness on their behalf. Their laziness and non committal attitude will lead them to their own disaster. 

This is a reminder for us to ask Allah SWT directly as a show of our earnest sincerity and full commitment to do better. 

🎯Ayat 14
This ayat wipes out all doubts about the eventual victory and the liberation of Makkah. The Muslims  truly understand that victory and power lies with Allah SWT.  When the Companions RA chose to push away their frustration and instead chose to serve Rasulullah SAW and Allah SWT,  Allah SWT displays His Rahmah to them. Allah's SWT Rahmah  extends to  even to the tyrants as soon as they repent and make amends. Here lies the command to forgive your enemies because only Allah SWT really knows which of them have repented and which one will repent. This is what we see in the liberation of Makkah when Rasulullah SAW forgave all the Makkans. Therefore, we , too, must keep an open mind and heart in the situation in Gaza. Though we oppose strongly the Zionists' cruelty, we have to acknowledge Allah's SWT 
Final Judgement on them.

🎯Ayat  15
More rewards for the 1400 Companions RA who were in Hudaibiyyah. With minimal effort, the Muslims overwhelmed Khaybar, the last standing fortress of the Jewish community. They came home not only victorious but with the wealth that the Jews left behind. This time those who opted to stay behind in the earlier journey to Makkah were prohibited from joining and were left out from the war booty. True to their vile nature, they played the victim and accused the Muslims of being greedy.  I think we have seen many such bad traits from the Zionists. May Allah SWT protect us from a bad character, aamiin.

🎯Ayat 16
Surah Al Fath listed out 4 Victories : 
1.Opening of Makkah 
2.Permission to perform Umrah
3.Victory over Khaybar 
4.The good tidings of the Fall of the Roman Empire in the hands of the Muslims. 

These scenarios seemed impossible to the weary Muslims travelling back to Madinah . However, Allah SWT rewarded them immediately after they surrendered themselves completely to Allah SWT.  From Allah's SWT Immense Rahmah, even the Mukhalafun and the Munafiqun were given a second chance to prove their loyalty through the mission to Tabuk against the Romans.

🎯Ayat 17
Allah's SWT immense Rahmah is being shown again in this Ayat. It listed the conditions that allowed for exemption from military campaigns. Some Companions RA who were held back by health and other valid reasons were extremely distraught and aggrieved for missing out in travelling and fighting with Rasulullah SAW. These Companions RA were given the glad tidings that Allah SWT witnessed their genuine grief and sincerity and rewarded them as if they had joined the journey to Makkah. This shows the importance of sincerity and pure intention. Allah's SWT Rahmah encompasses us all. We just have to be aware of our intentions and take efforts to earn it. 

May these lessons motivate us to continue to fight for justice and freedom of our brothers in Palestine
May we remain steadfast in our mission to liberate Al Aqsa till we earn the Victory from Allah SWT, aamiin. 
#GAZA

The month of Dh-ul-Hijjah is around the corner, I was reciting Surah Al-Fath and realized that my reading of this chapter at this time was not mere coincidence. I felt compelled to ponder the significance of this surah, and as I delved deeper, I understood that the prayer of Prophet Ibrahim (عليه السلام) was a pivotal moment in the mission of our  Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The journey of Hajj was not just an annual ritual for the Prophetﷺ, but an integral part of his prophetic mission. The success of Hudaybiyah marked the culmination of his mission, and Allah assured him that his journey was now nearing its end. Today, we embark on our Hajj journey that spans mere hours, days, or months, but the Prophet's road to Hajj was a lifelong endeavor, replete with challenges (migration, economic boycott, wars, martyrdoms) that heﷺ and his companions endured with unwavering resolve and fortitude. Their journey had several milestones, with the Treaty of Hudaybiyah being the final one, after which the travelers felt a sense of relief and Allah's reassurance. 
Today, those embarking on this journey have had the path made easier by the Prophet'sﷺ own journey, which has facilitated the way to the House of Allah for all Muslims until the end of time. What a profound favor this is upon us, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ  has opened the doors of this obligation for us, and what a great blessing that Allah SWT did not make Hajj obligatory until the Prophet's mission was complete, lest we face the same hardships and bloodshed that the Quraysh would have inflicted upon us. Instead, Allah granted the Muslims economic stability, then political power (through the Treaty of Hudaybiyah), and finally, through His Prophet, made the path to His House easy for us, making Hajj an obligation.

The prophetic mission entrusted to Allah's final Messenger ﷺ has become a perennial source of spiritual nourishment and faith preservation for all Muslims until the end of time. Had the Prophet's mission not been the liberation of the Ka'aba from the shackles of idolatry, we would not have recognized its profound significance today. The very existence of the Prophet was itself  a boundless blessing from Allah to humanity, and Allah chose his mission to be commemorated until the end of time,  His mission has been transformed into a means of  spiritual nourishment and existential guidance for us by Allah's divine grace. As we stand today in the sacred courtyard of the Kaaba, we are deeply indebted to the Prophet'sﷺ benevolence, magnanimity, and unwavering dedication to the divine cause.

May Allah allow us to revive the soul of the Prophet's mission in our lives and liberate our heart (House of Allah) from the idols of whims and satanic whispers. Ameen
